Chassis B24S-1676 is a 1958 Lancia Aurelia B24 Spider America, one of only 240 examples produced during a single year of manufacture. Bodied by Pinin Farina and built on a shortened platform derived from the B20 GT coupé, the model introduced left-hand drive availability to the Aurelia line. Delivered new to the United States in red over black leather, it remained stateside into the 1990s before moving to European ownership, where a full mechanical and cosmetic restoration was carried out in blue over orange leather.

Register your ownership and privately add your own records to make it a verified Legacy Metrics passport — provenance that backs your car's value at sale and gives your insurer evidence to price against. Roy reviews and verifies every registration personally.

Each chassis record is compiled from public auction archives and links to its source material. Ownership, competition and maintenance entries are extracted from those catalogue listings by an LLM, which can make mistakes — please contact us with any corrections. The summary is Legacy Metrics’ own writing; we do not reproduce catalogue text.

“Full” and “partial” documentation labels indicate how well each entry is corroborated in the underlying sources, not an audit of the car’s physical paperwork. Names of recent or living owners are withheld for privacy.
